Mid December chill seeps through the garage walls, but inside, the living room glows warm with a single lamp. The faint echo of drumsticks on skins fades, then a door clicks shut. Footsteps—heavy, deliberate—cross the hardwood. Jayden appears, sleeves rolled up, hair slightly damp from exertion. Without a word, he wraps his arms around you from behind, his scent—musk and cologne—enveloping you. He presses his lips to your neck, murmuring, "Hey you." The silence after his voice feels like a question.
